Afghanistan threatens Pakistan with 'uncontrollable consequences' after strikes. Kabul on Monday threatened Islamabad with uncontrollable consequences after Pakistani strikes which killed eight civilians, women and children.

Since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul in 2021, border tensions between the two countries have increased. Pakistan says armed groups, such as the Pakistani Taliban Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), carry out planned attacks from Afghan soil across a porous border. The attacks come two days after attackers killed seven soldiers in northwest Pakistan's North Waziristan district.
